Exceptional!

A serene escape.
This home served as the perfect quiet getaway. The home itself is pristine and brings the outdoors in. The wraparound porch was a great place to sit and relax while looking over the water. We enjoyed the kayaks and the outdoor fire pit. A perfect destination for a relaxing weekend.
The Enchanted Woods Cottage was spectacular!
We spent four nights at the Enchanted Woods Waterfront Cottage during spring break. The view from the cottage was spectacular! We felt very comfortable in the home and it had everything we needed for our stay. We look forward to staying here again soon!
Absolutely love this place!
We spent another 6 wonderful days at the "Enchanted woods". The house is very clean with well equipped kitchen. It has everything you need for comfortable stay and entertainment.
It was pretty amazing waking up every morning and see that green water! There are a few very nice trails just around the corner. Plus unlimited kayaking. Will be coming back next year for sure!
Nice Place!
I and three friends and our yellow Lab, Mei-Mei, spent a week at Enchanted Woods in July 2016 and found it to be delightful. The house was clean and comfortable and we loved the location and views. That deck, overlooking Secret Cove, was simply spectacular. I enjoyed breakfast there every morning, and it was comfortable rain or shine. Watching the wildlife was fun too. We saw a raccoon swimming across the inlet one morning, an otter playing another morning, and a bald eagle and ravens were frequently seen. We enjoyed the kayaks too, and playing in the inlet at low tide when it was almost completely empty of water. The deck has a brand new propane grill for your use, and it was nice to have the use of a washer and dryer.
In the morning, the forest silence was broken only by birdsong and the wind in the pines. Time here is measured by the sun, moon, and tide, rather than by the clock.
There is lots to do on and near to the Sechalt Peninsula. Hiking and beach exploring were great. Of particular interest was the view from the Skookumchuck Narrows near Egmont at high tide--it's amazing to see the water roaring UP THE RIVER through the narrows at high tides. Also, there are some dog friendly hiking opportunities around, where it is legal to let your pup off leash to explore and sniff along with you as you're hiking. Do stop in Sechalt at the visitor information center and talk with the wonderful people there.
So, in summary, I hope you'll like this place as much as I did. I think it's terrific!
Enchanted woods
We stayed 4 days and had a fabulous time with family from Scotland. The house is absolutely perfect, roomy, organized and very well equipped. It is along a calm inlet for easy kayaking to the ocean. It is very quiet, hear the birds and see the eagles fly over. Great hiking, close to Sechelt for all the groceries you need. Definitely recommend this wonderful place.
One stop get away
I have stayed at several different cottages in Sunshine Coast area and I have to say Enchanted Woods has everything to offer. Kayaks, paddle boards and road bikes are ready for your little adventures. Smugglers Cove Provincial Park is just 5 minutes driving distance, you will enjoy hiking and shore fishing on the rocks there (at the end of the trail). The property itself accommendates our six adults clan comfortably, very nice view on its huge balcony and the cozy floor plan is perfect for friend gathering. Host is friendly and she responded to our requests promptly. We would love to come back again.
